really put her heart into organizing the blood pressure booth the project is her baby and shes thrilled by the terrific response and cooperation from the community Mrs Mclndless is confident that two nurses per shift will be kept pretty busy and has arranged for standby nurses should the need suddenly arise The public health nurses have undertaken the responsibility of doing followup work in the

vessel ailment and that more than half of all deaths each year are due to heart and circulatory diseases with about percent occurring among people to years of age On the brighter side however great strides have been made in research diagnosis treatment and control of heart disease Progress has made it possible for thousands to survive and recover and surgical techniques for correcting heart defects have been developed in recent years Since the high blood pressure detection booth is this years highlight to the campaign organizers stress that hypertension is a most misunderstood term that means high blood pressure It does not mean being nervous irritable excitable highstrung impatient or highly tense It is common in all types of people with all types of personalities and occupations and it afflicts more than Canadians or about percent of the adult population In most cases its cause is unknown but left un checked the constant strain on the blood vessels and organs of the body begins to take its toll Such serious complications as stroke heart disease and kidney disease may result Early detection and early treatment can reduce the possibility of serious complications Often clearly defined symptons of high blood pressure are missing and many suffering from hypertension do not feel sick So remember to take those few minutes and drop into the booth at Upper Canada Mall
